Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Slide 4- 7 HIPPARCHUS OF NICAEA (190–120 B.C. ) Hipparchus of Nicaea, the “father of trigonometry,” compiled the first trigonometric tables to simplify the study of astronomy more than 2000 years ago. Today, that same mathematics enables us to store sound waves digitally on a compact disc. Hipparchus wrote during the second century B.C., but he was not the first mathematician to “do” trigonometry. Greek mathematicians like Hippocrates of Chois (470–410 B.C. ) and Eratosthenes of Cyrene (276–194 B.C. ) had paved the way for using triangle ratios in astronomy, and those same triangle ratios had been used by Egyptian and Babylonian engineers at least 4000 years earlier. The term “trigonometry” itself emerged in the 16 th century, although it derives from ancient Greek roots: “tri” (three), “gonos” (side), and “metros” measure).

The idea of dividing a circle into 360 equal pieces dates back to the sexagesimal (60-based) counting system of the ancient Sumerians. The appeal of 60 was that it was evenly divisible by so many numbers (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, and 30). The Sumerian civilization was believed to have started around 4000 BC. They pretty much disappeared around 2000 BC, mostly due to war between them and other semitic people groups. Early astronomical calculations wedded the sexagesimal system to circles, and the rest is history.

Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Slide 4- 9 Angle to linear measure The ratio of s to h in the right triangle in Figure 4.1a is independent of the size of the triangle. (You may recall this fact about similar triangles from geometry.) This valuable insight enabled early engineers to compute triangle ratios on a small scale before applying them to much larger projects. That was (and still is) trigonometry in its most basic form. For astronomers tracking celestial motion, however, the extended diagram in Figure 4.1b was more interesting. In this picture, s is half a chord in a circle of radius h, and  is a central angle of the circle intercepting a circular arc of length a. If  were 40 degrees, we might call a a “40-degree arc” because of its direct association with the central angle, but notice that a also has a length that can be measured in the same units as the other lengths in the picture. Over time it became natural to think of the angle being determined by the arc rather than the arc being determined by the angle, and that led to radian measure.

Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Slide Happy Tau Day! Thu, 28 Jun :16:08 You may have heard of (or even celebrated) Pi day on 3/14, but how about Tau day? What is Tau, you ask? In 2001, Bob Palais published the article "π Is Wrong" in which he argued that the beloved constant π is the wrong choice of circle constant. He instead proposed using an alternate constant equal to 2π, or 6.283… to represent “1 turn”, so that 90 degrees is equal to “a quarter turn”, rather than the seemingly arbitrary “one-half π”. Two years ago today, Michael Hartl published "The Tau Manifesto" echoing the good points made by Palais and building on them by calling this “1 turn” constant τ (tau), as an alternative to π. Tau is defined as the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its radius, not its diameter and is equal to 2π."π Is Wrong""The Tau Manifesto"

Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Slide Arc Length Formula (Radian Measure) Since a central angle of 1 radian always intercepts an arc of one radius in length, it follows that a central angle of  radians in a circle of radius r intercepts an arc of length  r. This gives us a convenient formula for measuring arc length.

Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Slide Arc Length Formula (Degree Measure) If is a central angle in a circle of radius r, and if is measured in degrees, then the length s of the intercepted arc is given by

Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Designing a Running Track Slide The running lanes at the Emery Sears track at Bluffton College are 1 meter wide. The inside radius of lane 1 is 33 meters and the inside radius of lane 2 is 34 meters. How much longer is lane 2 than lane 1 around one turn?

Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Slide SOLUTION We think this solution through in radians. Each lane is a semicircle with central angle  =  and length s = r  = r . The difference in their lengths, therefore, is 34  33 . Lane 2 is about 3.14 meters longer than lane 1.

Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Slide Angular and Linear Motion Angular speed is measured in units like revolutions per minute. Linear speed is measured in units like miles per hour.

Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Using Angular Speed Slide Albert Juarez’s truck has wheels 36 inches in diameter. If the wheels are rotating at 630 rpm (revolutions per minute), find the truck’s speed in miles per hour.

Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Solution Slide We convert revolutions per minute to miles per hour by a series of unit conversion factors. Note that the conversion factor 18in / 1 radian works for this example because the radius is 18 in. = mph

Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Slide How big is an nautical mile? The diameter of the earth is about statute (land) miles. The radius at the equator is approximately 3956 statute miles. 1′ is 1/60 th of a degree. so 1 nautical mile = 3956 (  /10,800) = statute miles.
